A 17-year-old North Hollywood girl who died after being shot and abandoned at a local hospital last month was suspected of participating in a botched car burglary, investigators said Friday.

The new information comes a day after officials announced that two men suspected in the death of Darlene Robles were arrested and charged with her murder and second-degree burglary of a vehicle.

Michael Gonzalez, 24, of North Hollywood, was arrested April 16 at 11:30 a.m. at his home, according to Det. Robert Bub of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Van Nuys Division.

Alejandro Aguirre, 26, of Sun Valley, was arrested April 26 when he appeared in court in Lancaster on an unrelated charge, Bub said.

Both men pleaded not guilty to murder and second-degree burglary of a vehicle and are due back in court on May 25 for preliminary hearing setting.

Police were originally looking for three suspects who were caught on surveillance footage on April 6 at Kaiser Permanente hospital in Panorama City, where they left Robles in the emergency room. She later died of a gunshot wound.

In the footage, an SUV pulls up to a hospital entrance and drives away as a man and woman push Robles into the emergency room in a wheelchair.

Aguirre, the suspected gunman, is believed to have driven the SUV to the hospital, where he got out pushed Robles into the ER. Gonzalez is believed to have driven the SUV away, Bub said.

Robles was shot in Sherman Oaks, according to the coroner’s office.

Robles, Gonzalez and Aguirre, along with the unidentified woman, were trying to steal a car when the car’s owner confronted them, Bub said. It was unclear if Aguirre allegedly fired a warning shot or intended to hit the burglary victim, but the shot struck Robles, Bub said.

Investigators do not have enough evidence to put together a case against the woman, but the investigation is ongoing, Bub said.

The parents of a Sun Valley teen who was killed after testifying as a witness to a gang killing will not receive the millions in damages sought from the city and two LAPD detectives in a lawsuit, a jury ruled Thursday.

The two-week trial in federal court also resulted in a verdict of no punitive damages against the two defendant police officers. The parents of Martha Puebla, 16, had sought several million dollars in damages and had demanded $950,000 in punitive damages.

The case stems from a November 2002 Vineland Boyz gang killing in which Puebla was a witness. She testified in court and despite numerous threats against her, Puebla did not enter the witness relocation program. Her parents said she was never offered protection.

The detectives, Martin Pinner and Juan Rodriguez, had told then-alleged killer Jose “Pepe” Ledesma during an interrogation that Puebla had identified him as the shooter. Ledesma, while in jail, made a call asking someone to make her disappear.

Puebla was murdered by members of the gang 12 days after she testified, according to the City Attorney’s Office.
